I’m a Registered Psychologist and Founder of Sunday Psychology. I provide evidence-based therapy to adults, teens (14+), and young adults in Calgary, Alberta. I specialize in trauma-informed therapy, including complex trauma and post-traumatic stress, as well as anxiety, perfectionism, emotion regulation, ADHD, and life transitions. A central part of my work involves supporting individuals navigating identity, culture, and belonging. My approach is grounded in high-quality clinical psychological care, while remaining responsive to the complexity of each person’s lived experience.
My goal is for Sunday Psychology to feel like a space where ease and effort coexist, allowing hard work and meaningful change to happen alongside compassion, rest, and self-understanding.
Hi, I’m Japneet
My Approach
My therapeutic style is collaborative, engaged, and human. I am not a blank-slate therapist. I show up with presence, curiosity, and professionalism, while creating space for honesty, strong emotion, humour, and real conversation.
I draw from various evidence-based approaches, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Internal Family Systems Therapy (IFS), Somatic Therapy, Narrative Therapy, emotion-focused work, and skills-based interventions, tailoring therapy to each client’s goals, needs, and pace. Therapy can be directive and focused, or exploratory and gradual. I work extensively with complex trauma and have specialized training in Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) for trauma processing.
My Experience and Specialization
Much of my work is with people who feel like they are carrying a lot internally, relationally, or across different areas of their lives. This often includes the lingering effects of trauma and post-traumatic stress, nervous system dysregulation, and the impact of living for long periods in survival mode. I frequently work with neurodivergent individuals and those who have spent years adapting themselves to environments that were not designed with their needs in mind, often resulting in chronic stress, self-criticism, and burnout. Alongside complex trauma, I also work with acute trauma and PTSD, including individuals processing the emotional and psychological impacts of motor vehicle accidents.
Many clients come to therapy during the in-between periods of life, times when familiar roles, structures, or identities no longer fit, and are looking for a way to make sense of their experiences. Often, they are also navigating the relational stress, self-doubt, and internal pressures that surface during these seasons. I support clients navigating relationship concerns, divorce, attachment patterns, and boundaries, alongside identity, culture, intersectionality, and belonging, including balancing family cultural expectations and Western belief systems. Therapy becomes a space to slow down, understand patterns with greater compassion, and navigate complexity in a way that supports both stability and meaningful change. In addition to English, I am also able to provide sessions in Punjabi and Hindi.
My Credentials and Training
I am a Registered Psychologist (#7174) in the province of Alberta with the College of Alberta Psychologists, and I hold a Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology. I have completed my formal clinical training within various settings serving the diverse population of Calgary, Alberta over the last 3 years.
I currently have further specialized training in the following:

Brain Story Certification (Alberta Family Wellness Initiative and Palix Foundation) (20 hours of clinical training)
Certified in Trauma Informed Training for Children and Families Experiencing Intimate Partner Violence (completion of 21 hours of clinical training)
Eating Disorder Informed Professional Certification (Eating Recovery Center)
In addition to formal training, I deeply value ongoing continuing education to maintain competency and currency in the profession.
The Sunday Philosophy
The name Sunday reflects the essence of Sundays themselves. Sundays can be restorative and grounding, offering moments of rest and relief, but they can also carry stress, overwhelm, and the quiet pressure of preparing for what comes next. They are a transition point between weeks, holding both reflection and forward movement at the same time.
In this way, the name Sunday represents how therapy works here: a space for thoughtful, evidence-based psychological therapy where you can pause and regroup, while also engaging in the effort, insight, and planning required for meaningful and lasting change.
